5.4 Multiple loads connection with distribution terminals
If remotely located output distribution terminals are used, the power supply output terminals should be
connected to the distribution terminals by a pair of twisted or shielded wires. Each load should be separately
connected to the remote distribution terminals (see Fig 5-4). If remote sensing is required, the sensing
wires should be connected to the distribution terminals or at the most critical load.
5.5 Grounding outputs
Either the positive or negative output terminals can be grounded. To avoid noise problems caused by
common-mode current flowing from the load to ground, it is recommended to ground the output terminal
as close as possible to the power supply's output. Always use two wires to connect the load to the power
supply regardless of how the system is grounded.
